Why this test?
The HbA1c test measures the average blood glucose levels over the past two to three months, offering a broader picture than a single fasting glucose test. It is essential for diagnosing diabetes, assessing long-term glucose control, and evaluating the effectiveness of treatment plans. Early detection of abnormal HbA1c levels can help reduce the risk of complications such as cardiovascular disease, kidney damage, or neuropathy.
